  3. Description: Please join the Ecogeoglyphic Observatory at our current show Visitors Center at MING Studios on April 14th for an intensive workshop on the New SUM game. New SUM is a board game created by Mary K Johnson in 2023 in response to the colonial gameplay structure of a popular board game. Mary K has since iterated on it over the course of the last year. This current version of New SUM encourages players to come prepared with goals for thinking of new structures for human inhabitation of this land that we live in. The game emphasizes collaboration and creative dreaming toward solutions to challenges provided by players themselves. This 3-part workshop will be an exploration of the questionable roots of some board games, exemplified by the “Idaho Goose game,” and calling participants to think of their own relations to the land through their own memories of important places. The second layer of the workshop involves thinking through enculturation and how people are taught to “know” a place- specifically through Mary K’s own Idaho History project- a binder made following the public school curriculum for 4th graders in Idaho. After much context building, and snack and coffee breaks, the workshop will shift into facilitated gameplay! We will end on a reflection/sharing about the experience.
